Cape Coral Hospital seeking to create "Patient and Family Council"

Cape Coral Hospital is seeking former patients and their family members to create a 10- to 15-member "Patient and Family Council" to work with doctors, hospital staff and volunteers to improve services.

Specifically, the hospital is looking for people willing to talk about their personal experiences with the hospital over the last two years. They would also be required to attend monthly meetings for one year. Each member must complete an application and sign papers binding them to federal health information privacy regulations.

"The Patient and Family Council is a group comprised of healthcare staff members and community members who have used our services and have a desire to improve the patient experience and quality of care at Cape Coral Hospital," said Scott Kashman, the hospital's chief administrative officer, in a prepared comment Thursday. "Including patients in the design and implementation of initiatives gives a fresh perspective and new meaning to patient-centered care."

For more information about joining the Patient and Family Council of Cape Coral Hospital, contact Sally Wilson at 424-3830 or sally.wilson@leememorial.org.
